A PROMISE OF ADOPTION: EPHESIANS 1:3-6
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Family
1. Family
a) God's design, the relationship between husband and wife is actually the first family unit. We can read about the relationship in Genesis 2:15-25 and 3:1-21. This, of course, is the creation account of the first man and woman: Adam and Eve.
b) In Genesis 1:27-29 God blessed Adam and Eve and told them to be fruitful and multiply and the children that Adam and Eve had made the family unit larger. When those children got married another family unit is formed. When a husband and wife take another's child into their home to raise, that child becomes family through adoption.
c) All generations of families can be traced back to that first family in the Garden. The body of believers is called the Church or the Family of God because by God’s grace all humankind can be adopted into His eternal family. Take a look at some uplifting Scripture quotes about family.

2. A Promise Of Adoption
Ephesians 1:3-6
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.
